Brother Billy-Reuben!
Your post brought a tear to this old man's eye. Having been appointed Landover's Tithing Manager I fail to see how anybody can not understand God's Simple Plan of Salvation.
Remember the lesson of the widow's mites:
Mark 12:42
And there came a certain poor widow, and she threw in two mites, which make a farthing.
Mark 12:43
And he called unto him his disciples, and saith unto them, Verily I say unto you, That this poor widow hath cast more in, than all they which have cast into the treasury:
Mark 12:44
For all they did cast in of their abundance; but she of her want did cast in all that she had, even all her living.
There's a beautiful moral in this pericope, and the lesson, which comes right from the sweet full lips of Baby Jesus himself, is that it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor. Jesus will love you just the same, as long as you give all you've got.
